These Edge Pro tutorials are some of the best ones on KZread. Thank you for taking the time to do these.

Im def getting one now, thank you for your information and attention to detail explaining the techniques and thoughts you use💪🏽

I’m about to buy something similar to sharpen my knives so your tips were really helpful!

I just bought one of these. It should be delivered in a couple days. Thanks for the information. I have a Misono UX10 that I am nervous about sharpening with anything other than professionally but I’m going to give it a go with this system. Cheers!

You are going to love it! It's a rock solid system. You might want to practice on some cheap knives first just to find your rhythm but once you get it it's a breeze to get your knives razor sharp. OH.... Don't forget to tape the blade as well and take your time. Slower strokes are more effective than faster strokes..

Hi, I'm on a budget and have ordered a lansky sharpening system. Dead excited waiting for it to arrive,saw this post and went straight yo Amazon to look for magnifier. Would you mind saying what magnifier you used here. I started looking at apex4. If I get on well with the Lansky I might upgrade next year, or It might be enough for my light use. Thanks I've been watching a lot of sharpening posts and learning different things from each.

Cool Thing

If you use a digital angle gauge to measure the angle using the sharpener platform as your zero-degree reference, you have to take into account the contribution to the apparent angle from the secondary bevel angle because the blade is not resting totally flat relative to the platform. It's tilted by an angle equal to the secondary bevel angle. Therefore, you have to ADD back the secondary bevel angle to get the true primary bevel angle setting. If you don't make this correction, your primary bevel angle (i.e. at the edge) will be a lot more acute than you'd want. Some people reverse the terminology between the primary bevel and the secondary bevel. To me, the primary bevel angle refers to the cutting edge angle ( or properly speaking, one-half of it). The primary bevel angle is 1/2 the cutting edge angle. The secondary bevel is the angle between the large flat face of the knife and the center line. For example, if the secondary bevel angle (i.e. the big flat knife face) is 3 degrees per side, then you have to set the sharpening rod angle 3 degrees higher than the digital angle gauge reads relative to the platform reference. So, let's say you want to have the primary bevel angle at a true 18 degrees per side, you have to set the sharpening stone 3 degrees higher at 21 degrees ( i.e. 18+3) per side to get the true 18 degrees primary angle per side. If you don't make this correction, for a secondary bevel angle of 3 degrees, you'll end up with a true primary angle of 15 degrees per side. An error of 2 to 3 degrees per side is too much to ignore. I also wouldn't rely on the color markings on the vertical support post at the back of the sharpener. I would rely on the digital angle gauge method using the sharpener platform as the zero-degree reference. You can find the secondary bevel angle quite easily and precisely with the help of a digital angle gauge and a flat surface. Most knives have a secondary bevel angle at 2 to 3 degrees per side.

Just ordered this piece of equipment. Looking forward to taking my knives to the next level.

I got the older edge pro apex version.. but it feel awkward using it because im a right handed, it so hard to get a consistent when im doing the other side of the blade that need to use my lefthanded because i need to hold the knife with my right.. and it also scratch my blade while sliding it while sharpening..so after not so long using it i sold it back to a friend.. change to using a hapstone that use a blade clamp system so i dont need to hold the blade with my hands all the time.. it really make life easier..

@@2guysandacooler I like it because its simple design yet solid.. what i like most is the multi clamp system that can be use both on larger and small knife.. mine came with a set of venev diamond stone compare to alu oxide on edge pro.. hope to see your review and your thought on that system.

Great video and nice jig. But I love my Jende Jig so much. It makes angle adjustment and blade flipping soooo easy. Dull to double razor in 10min w/ 4 stones.

Pulled the trigger on an apex model, hope I don't regret not getting a pro. I suppose I can always sell it and upgrade in the future. I'm just excited to really dial in my angles!

You are going to love it. Both systems will deliver exactly the same edge. One is just designed for longer use so it's a bit more comfortable

I am using the Adafruit USB Microscope 5mp 220x amzn.to/2MWlj6j But I don't like it. It's way overpriced and for the money the picture should be sharper. There are better options for under $50 bucks..

I bought a winco cleaver and the edge was trash looked like they sharpened the darn thing and then ran the edge flat against the abrasive I had to run it on some stones for like an hour and re-set the bevel T^T

As far as stones go. I would most likely go with the choseras. Start with a course grit to define the edge, work my way up through the progression using a 300, 600, then most likely finishing on a 1K. You could take it even higher but the edge might get a little crispy on you..

How much do you charge to sharpen?

Hello Jordan. It depends on the length of the blade and the quality of the knife. I sharpen at $1 an inch generally. Sometimes less sometimes more. It all depends

@@2guysandacooler Wow, thanks for the reply, I'm thinking of starting a sharpening business in my area and service farmer markets. I want to stick to hand sharpening no power tools. I want to use the edgepro. Just wondering if I need to account for the stone cost and what I can fairly charge at a market.
